"Her favorite thing was to be my mother, and mine was being her daughter," says Laura Krumwiede Scott. Indeed, the bond between Laura and her mother is not only tight but heroic. Her mother, after losing her first two children at their births, pronounces Laura her "victory." Laura was born so tiny it was unlikely she would live. With the help of the March of Dimes, she not only survived but thrived well beyond expectations. Yet she is haunted by her narrow escape from the fate of her two siblings, and jolted by subsequent near misses and losses. In this memoir, Laura learns to cultivate gratitude and courage within loss. She reaches for the blessings of sustaining love from family, her faith, and her life's work, emerging victorious in her own right.
